UDRI's hypervelocity impact facility has 2 two-stage light-gas gun ranges for hypervelocity testing at velocities up to 24,600 ft/sec (7.5 km/sec). Applications for this facility include design and ...

Value stream management involves people in the organization to examine workflows and other processes to ensure they are deriving the maximum value from their efforts while eliminating waste — of ...

Instron has over eight decades of experience in designing impact testing systems to mimic real-life impact conditions. Drop Weight Impact Testers – Instron 9400 Series is designed for measuring the ...

Impact velocities range from 100 ft/sec to over 1,600 ft/sec. Typical projectiles for testing aircraft structures and engine components to meet FAA/EASA regulations include birds up to 8-pound Canada ...

Others argue that real-world or not, flat-barrier testing is a good way to gauge the effectiveness of the restraint systems, primarily the safety belts and air bags. NHTSA's side-impact test ...

Impact testing machines evaluate an object's capacity to withstand high-rate loading and it is commonly used to determine the service life of a part or material. Impact resistance can be among the ...

Methods We conducted impact tests with a dynamic pendulum (mass 60 kg) and with crash test dummies (ES-2 dummy, 4.76 m/s impact speed). Outcomes were biomechanical loading experienced by a player in ...
